Good grief thats in 15 minutes, I'd better get out of the bath then!

I now have 4 different cats visiting my garden, one was shooed away from the top of a bird box when it was full of fledglings. To get to this box the cat had climbed an eight foot fence and dropped down on to it, situated behind a hawthorn bush which has thick and dense foliage, you would not think a cat could get near it. The present bird box being made in the shed has wire off cuts stapled to the roof to prevent future feline stalking. I do not mind cats, but I do not want them in my garden...............what to do? It was reported some time ago on one of the urban nature programs that foxes are now stalking cats, sadly not in ed it seems.

Forget Friday travel go to bed early get up early earlier the better out of london 30 minutes take no notice of traffic lights provided there is no traffic.

Why choose a beach holiday if you are so shaky about your bodily image? Trekking holidays in the northern hemisphere or skiing in winter seem more appropriate.

The US have no need for holding people for 42 days, and they suffered the attacks. Perhaps if our police force were as dilligent, and not over burdened with ineffectual masons, they too could deal with 'suspects' in the same amount of time as the American system.

I know they are clear in the highway code but if you ever drive out on the westway, the speed limit is 30 mph for one and a half a miles and then it is 40mph for a mile or so, then 50mph for a mile and drops to 40mph for a mile all on the same dual carriageway. One has to ask why, when a few years ago it was 70mph all the way, with speed variations on such roads as this, I can only assume it is for harvesting revenue from unwitting drivers. It serves only to complicate driving. I do not think this particular scenario is covered by the Highway Code.
